Effects
Struggling mentally can heavily affect every day life. This can include your home, school, and social life.

Long-lasting habits can change because of mental health, and also very slight changes like getting ready in the morning or a bedtime routine. Eating habits also can juristically swing because of mental health.
Finding Help
Reach. Out.
There is always someone there to listen to what you have to say even if you don’t believe it. Friends and family are always there for you when regarding mental health. Do not ever feel discouraged and do not think twice about talking to someone because you never know what help they may be able to give you if you don’t try.
